Since the translation of these definitions may vary, I made a little inquiry
in the Russian Internet and found out the following links: 

for "tufli-lodochki" -- with a picture and comment:
http://www.interlinks.ru/style/1690.html  

and for "ochki-babochki" -- with the explanation:
http://www.prozzak.ru/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t22984.html 
 
(I'm sorry: the latter site contains somewhat slangish language). The next
step -- to pick up the best equivalent in English -- is, I guess, up to
English speakers: who knows, the translation, as I said, could be different
depending on the location in America and/or Britain as well as other
countries.
